Lawmakers in Thailand's lower house of Parliament have made history by overwhelmingly approving a marriage equality bill. This groundbreaking decision paves the way for Thailand to become the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize equal rights for marriage partners of any gender.
The bill, which passed its final reading with an impressive 400 out of 415 members of the House of Representatives in favor, marks a significant step towards inclusivity and equality. Only 10 members voted against it, with two abstentions and three not voting.
